happy full set Mizuno vas 18 that looks good in it you know what this means
let's go today is my full comprehensive review of the Mizuno s 18 set of wedges
let's do it
okay so here's how this is going to work I'm gonna put these wedges to the full
test and do a lot of shots around the Greens off tight lies out of the rough
from 20 30 yards and out of the bunker also at the range so we get a full full
swing comparison to here's what I'm looking for I'm looking for how the ball
reacts off the clubface does it shoot off hot does it come out dad what kind
of spin I get I'm also looking at how the club looks the top-line looks off of
just from my eye line what does that look like does it look good and the
weight of the club I want to know how it feels is it too heavy is it to light
I'm also looking at how the sole reacts off the turf especially on those tighter
lives also out of the sand is it digging in too much what is the bounce look like
how does that ball come out is it too hot is it too high is it too low and
then with my full shots I want to see really what my ball penetration flight
is is it launching it up too high we're getting too much spin or how does the
ball sound off the clubface and what does that feel like so I'm putting this
to the test and then I will give you my wrap-up and let you know what I think of
these compared to many of the other wedges that I've tested out also just so
you know I'm working with a 46 degree which is my pitching wedge I have a 50
degree gap wedge 54 degree sand wedge they call this but it's just a utility
wedge so what I like to say and then a 58 degree lob wedge that's the highest
law that I have let's get started these are awesome looking by the way the
blue blue finish I like that let's do it
first up just a short little shot right here right from here just to the short
leg will do a 54 degree for this shot
sometimes you're gonna see me reach for other clubs
I'm just want to compare the two there's a Titleist sm7 I just want to see the
difference with the same hopefully the same exact shot very similar Club
pretty good the two clubs by the way that Titleist and this they look totally
different and they feel totally different I'll talk more about that
later let's move to a new shot next shot we're just going right here to that flag
right there 50 degree wedge for this one
okay we're going right out of the rough right here just to this flag 58 degree
here see how this performs out of this deal
I totally take all those from here I would compare this to another club but
it just wouldn't be fair because all my other wedge setups are 60-degree wedges
for my lob wedge this is 58 so I but it's pretty good I think it's a
equivalent to 60 just a 58 actually yeah think I prefer a 58 at this point now
because I get a little more I can get the same height even if I open up and I
get a little more roll out so I might stick to 58 from now on but let's go to
the sand trap and see
okay some longer chip and runs with the pitching wedge 46 degree we'll compare
it with this guy to go right here further flag there that you see somebody
so we have 30 yards right now and in this scenario I'm gonna hit each one of
the wedges about five shots each to the barrel just trying to get a good feel
see how they react thirty yards every club it's a good indication of really
wedge performance this type of type of situation and we're gonna start with the
pitching wedge work our way up
all right good stuff let's head to the range hit some full shots with each Club
see what kind of distance we get and ball fight let's do it
okay these will write at 75 yards the 58 yeah I really like that number perfect
number for that
these all went like right at the same distance about 92 yards there's a little
headwind so it could be it's probably a three to five yard headwind so right
there they were pretty good all right these are all carrying right at 106 go
pitching wedge these are carrying 126 let's wrap this up so the Mizuno s18
wedges these have just technically they are the 102 5 boron carbon steel which
gives you a 30% greater strength for longer-lasting grooves that's a good
thing has a nice rounded silhouette so nice nice shape for a wedge it has a
thicker upper blade here you can see the thickness of the top edge so I thicker
than your other wedges so you get better consistency when you hit the ball on the
top of the clubface so that's a good thing for when the ball is down the
rough or around the Greens you want good performance from anywhere you strike it
whether it's low or high so and you could definitely feel it when
you're hitting the off centers they don't feel off center or off tight on
the clubface they feel great and you can get full custom on the Mizuno website
I'll leave a link below for that so you can get different finishes different
loft and lie and bounce configurations shaft options as well so that's all on
the Mizuno site so you can really dial in your wedges perfectly for you it also
has what they call a harmonic impact technology I know that means but it
certainly feels good when I hit it and you could feel the difference between
this and other wedges I definitely can feel the impact on the ball and can feel
my shots which I like I like to feel everything in my hands I don't know if
it's better or worse than then some of the other top line models but it
definitely is noticeable and the feel and the sound too is a little bit
different than my other wedges and so it's just a personal preference I like
to sound I don't necessarily like it better than the other ones but it's
different and I you like it so it's a good thing it's
good sound it's not one of those tinny or funky bad sounding wedges which can
you know drive you crazy after a while so I don't like that this
sound solid I don't like the finish of the face but a lot of times I use the
black finished clubs because the Sun doesn't glare back into my face versus
the traditional you know bright stainless steel so this doesn't I don't
get that glare back into my face and I do like the silhouette with the the blue
and then this you know the difference really gives it a nice look helps me to
line it really well and set up perfectly every time so I like the two-tone
different matching face really helps when I'm hitting it on the range man the
feel is good no shot really went laughed I didn't miss anything to the left if I
miss hit it it kind of went left and faded back to the right my other clubs
if I miss hit it they did go left and stay left
I got good distance out of it the ball flight was really consistent among all
my wedges there wasn't one that shot up at one that went low that consistently
went higher and higher and higher the more loft I added I loved the distance I
loved the feel I loved the sound I loved I really am a fan of the Mizuno wedges I
love the back cavity here I get a little extra pop on that ball with my full
shots and a bit extra feel around the Greens so I love that too so I will
leave a link below for these I'm a fan I really like the feel I like the top
thicker edge I like their ball reaction off the
clubface immediately from different grasses for me I love that out of sand
they performed great I love the 58 setup and I'm gonna say my back for a while so
anyways I'll leave a link below for Mizuno check them out if it works for
